I hate to be cynical, but pennies on the dollar isn't going to induce most creditors to continue supporting a business...
Sorry to hear about your trouble Daryl. Good luck getting whatever you can (without spending too much time/energy/money pursuing it).
Who says "pennies on the dollar"?
Chapter 11 is "re-organization" of debt load, court ordered interest rate, but payment in FULL.... unless they can't make it in which case they will be forced into Chapter 7...which is liquidation, and then pennies on the dollar. Supporting the company will enable the first, and staying "away" will enable the second route.
Don't know the company, and maybe if the front office guy is a spin head, company owner will move him out of the shop...and it can become viable again.
